How ultraviolet light (UV) works as a disinfection technology depends upon the wavelength(s) being employed. The UVC band with a wavelength of 200-280nm has emerged as a viable solution for interior ...

Many efforts to reduce transmission of diseases like COVID-19 and the flu have focused on measures such as masking and isolation, but another useful approach is reducing the load of airborne pathogens ...

The York® Affinity™ UVC germicidal light is installed inside HVAC systems and irradiates areas inhabited by microbial organisms (mold and fungus), making it impossible for them to survive, thereby ...

Perhaps the first randomized trial of an air cleaning device for nursing homes showed no significant impact on the primary endpoint for acute respiratory infection incidence. A secondary analysis did, ...

As restaurants reopen, owners must assure guests that premises are safe from pathogens, given ongoing concerns about safety in public spaces. What tools are available to ensure a facility is safe from ...

Gear Clear Venting System already protects firefighters and their passengers from the harmful effects of off-gassing emitted from their soiled turnout gear. But as pioneers in first responder health & ...

Germicidal electrical equipment typically incorporates light to inactivate germs and viruses. It’s accomplished by producing light output in a range that may render microbes non-infectious at a ...
